Today, Paula Bartlett, Justin Bosler, Pat Hayes, and I conducted the
15th August monthly census. It was a beautiful day on the island and
birds seem to be moving. 3837 individuals of 70 species were observed
on the census route. Two new species were observed for the first time
on an August census; Swainson's Thrush and Cape May Warbler. This
brings the number of species observed on an August census to 120. The
15 year average for species observed on an August census is 68 and the
average number of individuals is 3338. So we were slightly above
average on both.
